Organizing the knights In England--Ru-

Michael Davitt's Mission.
MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. 14.-The ses-
sion was devoted to routine work. A
communication was read from District
Assembly 208. 1t was in relation to the
appointment of a man in England who
should represent the authority of the
executive board in England.
The English district asks that the gen.
eral assembly appoint a man who shall
be invested with organizing and mediat-
ing functions. 1t requires about month
to confer with the general officers in
America, it is said, and difficulties may
arise, eliminate and pass beyond control
while correspondence is en- route. Diff
culties between various local assemblies
were introduced and quickly disposed of.
A communication was received from
Canadian knights, asking the general as
sembly to appoint legislative commit
tee to look after labor legislation in the
Canadian parliament. The matter was
referred to the legislative committee. 1t
was reported that the order was making
rapid strides in Canada. The long
shoremen of Philadelphia complained
that the national contract-labOr
law was being violated, and asked
that the general assembly extend aid to
the local knights. The trouble in the
Montauk district in New York had been
settled and there was no occasion for &C
ton by the general assembly. The SEN
timent of the general assembly as ex-
pressed in a resolution, was that the New
York street railway employees should
unite for mutual protection and benefit.

The "Back LOg."

1t will surprise many persons Of the
present day to be told that the "back-
log" Of which we read so much in old
time stories was large stone, a porous
stone being preferred if possible. This
stone was buried in the ashes, and on
top was placed the "back stick" The
back stone in those primitive times
played very important part in the
economy of carly housekeeping matches
wcrenot then invented; flint, steel and
tow we're tn? only means Of lighting a
fire or lamp; imagine for a moment the
"Bridget" of to-day thus engaged with
the thermometer ten degrees below zero
in the kitchen. The stone, together
with he ashes with which it was Gov
cred. served to retain fire and heat
through the night, and all that was nee
cssaryin the morning was a little kin
ding and gentle use of the indispensa-
bic bellows, and a fire was as readily
made IS at the present day.
Back8tones were not in much use in
bedrooms and parors after the beginning
of this century, turf having taken its
place and served equally well, while
taking up less space. The stone log in
nv possession and which belonged TO
NV grandmother and in use down TO
within few years Of her death, half a
century ago, is at the service of the Bos-
ton Society if they should think it Of

when he was still young man he be-

and the time of their wedding was near

that she no longer spoke to him. He
called her, but there was no reply. He
croped about the room in search of her,
found her upon the sofa, and put his

The Turkish Lent.

The 7 lvssh Lent is much more severe

fact. penn the eating Of anything; for
Mussulmats are forbidden to eat ana

to eat lonages, to use purfumery, until

the auserisies of the day.
As The Turks reckon time according
to thelu~as year, the months do not
follow exactly the order Of the seasons;
and when Lent comes in winter, it is ex-
tiemcly tolerabe, for the days consc-
Grated to abstinence are short, and tho
nights devoted to feasting are long.
But if Ramazan comes in midsummer

state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rble itching of the skin, with burning and
aarting pains through the lump, made life
almost mtolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was Of ANY
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELANp's direc-

healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Cotton Seed as a Fertilizer.

The chief value of cotton seed, or
cotton.seed meal, is due to the pres
ence of alarge percentage OF nitrogen.
1t is EN- ohatically a heterogeneous ma
nure, containing 2. so per cent OF am
monia, and only one per cent OF phos-
phoric acid, and 1. 25 per cent OF pot
ash. Therefore it is not generally
good practice to apply cotton seed or
the cotton-seed meal alone, un-
less to special crop which requires
highly nitrogenous manure. Whether
it is better to use cotton seed whole, or
crushed. or the ground kernel (not
expressed), or the cotton.seed NEAL
are questions which depend mainly on
the cost of handling, freights and ma
chinery. If the relative agricultural
value of these different forms OF cotton
seed and their component parts be
known it need not be Il difficult mat
ter for the average farmer to deter
mine what to do. The following table
of analyses and relative values OF the
different forms will aid in solving the
uueStion:

ripe and fresh fruit, vegetables and
cereals. taking rest and recreation in
pure air and avoiding late hours or
any thing calculated to weaken the
system.
On one important point the two
doctors seem to differ. Dr. Edison says
it is best to wear dark clothing in sum-
mer, on the ground that. although
"the black absorbs heat when it is in
the suns rays, the heat of the body
passes out through the black textures
rapidly. so that radiation of the heat
from the body would be much freer in
a person clothed in black than in
white" This statement he illustrates
by the fact that Arctic animals have
white coats for the reason that
the color holds the bodily heat
and does not allow it to radi-
ate as rapidly as the black. On
the other hand, it is we'll established
by scientific experiments that clark
colors draw the heat and light ones
repel it," as Dr.. Parker asserts. DR..
Edson's statement may, therefore, be
open to some qualification.
For people very much exposed out
of doors to the SUMS direct luminous
heat, light-colored clothing is appa-
rently the best Ganot, the French
physicist, says: THE most suitable
colored clothing for summer is just
that which experience has taught us
to use. namely, white, for it absorbs
less of the suns rays than black
clothing, and hence feels cooler."
The solar heat absorbed by the body
through dark clothing when in sun
shine is greater that the amount Of
heat which the body emits through the
dark textures, especially when the
air is very humid, as it usually is in
our most dangerous summer weather.
Pettenkofer's experiments show that
black cotton shifting exposed to the
sun absorbed two hundred and eight
heat units, while the same material
colored white and similarly exposed
absorbed only one hundred heat units.
As in many of our hot spells the
temperature in the sun is twenty-five
degrees higher than the temperature
of the human body, it is plain that the
main point in dress is to get the
color that is least absorbent of the
raging external heat,

About Wheat Culture.

Not every farmer in the cotton belt
should sow wheat. There is a limit
and it is soon reached-beyond which
the diversifying of crops should not
extend. The very low prices of wheat
and flour will probably deter many
from sowing wheat who could other
wise do so. But there are large sec.
tions of the South, in the Piedmont
region especially, where wheat will
succeed as we'll as in any section.
Rolling upland, with light or gray
soil and clay subsoil, well drained, is
the best for. wheat. 1t is often the
case that there are a few spots on a
farm on which wheat rarely fails.
About the usual time of the first kill
ing frost, without regard to the moon,
the seed should be sown and the
ground we'll and smoothly narrowed
and rolled. On the cotton farm eN-
perience has told that wheat does bet
ter after cotton or peas than after
corn or other grain. ASowthern Cult
